The latest edition of the gold standard in geriatric medicine references
Pathy’s
Principles and Practice of Geriatric Medicine, Sixth Edition delivers a
comprehensive overview of the subject, offering up-to-date,
evidence-based, information about the many, and varied, problems
suffered by ageing patients.
In this latest edition, the
authors take a refreshed approach to the material by rigorously
applying the latest scientific research to clinical practice and
increasing the use of visual examples, algorithms, and clinical
practice points. Thoroughly updated throughout, the chapters give
readers a truly global perspective on geriatric medicine that reflect
the most recent changes in treatment options and medical conditions.
In
addition to new chapters on a range of recent and emerging topics,
clinical practice points, and visual evidence―including MRI scans―the
book also offers a:
Thorough introduction to relevant
biological, social, and community perspectives on caring for mature and
ageing patients, as well as medicine prescribing for older patients
Comprehensive
exploration of eating disorders that commonly occur in the aged and
how to maximize the nutritional health of ageing patients
Practical discussions of haematological and cardiovascular disorders and diseases in ageing patients
In-depth
examination of special issues in elder care, including elder abuse,
alcoholism and substance abuse, transportation issues, and end-of-life
care
Perfect for all clinicians working with mature patients,
Pathy’s Principles and Practice of Geriatric Medicine will also
continue to earn a place in the libraries of allied healthcare workers
with ageing patients and clients.
